Riobard, I am another lurker as I have been researching my husband's line which includes Rahilly (O'Reilly) and Fitzsimmons. You have helped me in the past and continue to be my source for research. I forward all your stories to my husband's family and they love reading them. Please keep up the wonderful story telling for those of us who yearn for more of Beara of yesteryear. Oh to be there to shake your hand and thank you in person... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Riobard O' Dwyer Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 8:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [BEARA] ??? *I wonder if you got all the contributions I sent in for some time past ----- the latest about 3 one evening/night very recently. As I have got no reaction except from about three people in all those times, maybe the interest in things I have researched about happenings around the Ardgroom/Eyeries, and some parts of Beara areas in the* distant past, when I was very young, have no relevance any more. I have spent much time researching those (mainly about people) so that that information wouldn't be lost forever. But, things change as years go by and so I will fall in with that. I only wrote all those, as I wanted to make sure that things were getting going much more in the Beara-L, because things had slackened off, and that many of those in Beara-L who surely had something to put in would come to the aid of our outstanding Bill who has given an awful lot of his time to keep the Column going and of interest to our people in many parts of the world. I have done all I can over the years, so I will now leave it to others to carry on. So, in saying adios, I will sincerely request of you all once more: please don't forget Bill and his Beara column. ----- Riobard (of the past !!!) ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
